SONG LYRICS

I Came From Bahia

I cameI came from Bahia to singI came from Bahia to bring outthe beauty it left within meThis is where my heart always will beWith my land, with my sky and my seaMy Bahia is here to let us learnto live our life without concern

It's where people don't have food to eatBut we're friendly and happy to greet youwith hope and with faithWe know that the arms of the saintskeep us safeand help us to sing and take prideWhen we dance samba they're on our sideWhen we're dying of joyIn street celebrations,In rhythmical gleeAnd in moon contemplationsAt the edge of the sea

I came from BahiaBut I'm gonna returnI came from BahiaOne of these days I'm gonna return
